True! 
I merely notice how some people (not necessarily you of course
) are totally blind brand-name followers the one day, prepared to throw thousands of dollars at mindless and absolutely insane HW projects with a buggy and incomplete OS that seems to be forever in beta, while not even wanting to have a look at the technical merits and specifications of projects like AROS and MorphOS
Maybe some people are simply put off by the hostile attitudes of supporters such as yourself.
